A New Way to look at Networking - 1 hour 20 minute video of a talk at Google given by Van Jacobson who is
...best known for his work in IP network performance and scaling; his work redesigning TCP/IP's flow control algorithms to better handle congestion is said to have saved the Internet from collapsing due to traffic in 1988-1989.
This is an incredibly interesting talk with a long and accessible first section that traces the birth and history of packet based network communications. This is the best thing I've seen explaining the birth of the internet.
